John Lamprecht passed away surrounded by family on September 27, 2025, and had just turned 89 years of on August 26, 2025.

He was born in Winnipeg in the old Grace Hospital. He worked for many years at the McLeod's Store warehouse. He enjoyed hunting and fishing and has caught many master angler fish. He loved watching the Blue Bombers and Winnipeg Jets and discussing the players and how the teams were playing. He loved to play hockey and played for his team until he was 63. He was an avid snowmobiler and spent the winter riding around the lake well into his 80s. He loved to build and fix things and helped many friends and family with their projects, a real jack of all trades. You would always count on him to tell you how to do something. He would spend the summer in his garden and spend the fall harvesting and canning his produce. Christmas Eve was always a favourite time for him as all the family would gather for the famous yearly fish fry and his favourite pastries. He was proud of his classic Mercury Monarch and visited car shows showing off his baby. He loved to travel to Europe to visit relatives Hani and Sept Lamprecht, Melitta Lindenau, Erwin, Karin Gavic.

So sorry to hear of John's passing . I rode to work at Macleods with John for many years. Such a kind generous man always calling me up if I wanted some fish. Never found a bone in his fish fillets . Many times John would bring a bunch of fried breaded pickerel to work for lunch and share with his favorite people. I was fortunate enough to be one of those people. Rest in peace John 🙏 - Posted by: Joan Andreychuk (Friend) on: Oct 10, 2025

R.I.P. Uncle John (John Lamprecht) I'll never forget all the great memories growing up spending time at Grand Beach, going fishing, and just being together. Thank you for all the knowledge you shared with me, from filleting fish, teaching me about fishing, splitting wood, and so much more. You were one of the nicest people I've ever known, always there to give a hand whenever anyone needed anything. You were also one of the strongest and most independent people l've ever known, and I can only hope to live a long and amazing life like you did. Every time I go fishing, I'll be thinking of you and hoping you're there, watching over. Love you so much, and I'm going to miss you deeply. - Posted by: Greg Sokalski (Life long friend) on: Oct 05, 2025

Our heartfelt condolences to all of you. Gordon & I last spoke with John on his 89th birthday. Gordon met John in their early years at McLeod's. Over the years many good times were spent together. Fishing trips, classic car shows, wood cutting, blue berry picking, cottage time, birthdays & Anniversary celebrations and our many blueberry pancake dinners. We feel very blessed to have all these wonderful memories. Rest in peace dear friend. Gordon & Eileen Zinkowski. - Posted by: Eileen Zinkowski (Long time friends) on: Oct 04, 2025
